Ronald Reagan Parkway and Ameriplex Parkway is a parkway-type road named in part after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The road was commissioned in the 1990s, and the initial one-mile (1.6 km) section from U.S. Highway 36 to County Road 100 N (CR 100 N) was completed in 1996. It was later extended to CR 200 N. The segment from CR 200 N to CR 300 N opened in early 2015.^[1] Construction on the section from CR 300 N to the existing road connecting to US 136 began in 2015 and was completed in late 2017. Another extension via State Road 267 (SR267) to I-65 was planned to be opened by 2020, but has been delayed. A new plan has construction starting on the Hendricks County portion of the northern extension in middle 2023.

Route description edit

The roadway starts at State Road 67 at a traffic light, and is the southern terminus of Ameriplex Parkway. It heads northeast, meeting three traffic lights. It then comes to exit 68 on Interstate 70 and has a connection to the Indianapolis International Airport. At this interchange, Ameriplex Parkway ends and Ronald Reagan Parkway begins. The parkway then heads north to its northern terminus. It comes to a traffic light at Stafford Road, which connects to SR 267. It goes through one more traffic light at Metropolis Parkway, and a two-way stop intersection with Airtech Parkway. It then comes to its former northern terminus at a traffic light with US 40. From there it goes north through two more traffic lights at CR 200 S (Bradford Road), and CR 100 S (Morris Street). It then goes through traffic lights at US 36, CR 100 N (10th Street), and CR 200 N (21st Street), and then has a traffic light at CR 300 N. Then it continues north, crossing CR 400N and going over a railroad and US 136, before it comes to a stoplight at Connector Road, which connects to US 136. Continuing north, the road crosses Interstate 74 as exit 68 and then continues north to 600N (56th Street).
